Commuters, and most people using bicycles simply for transport, generally have to cycle alone to travel by bike.How about some real action by police when such incidents are reported? It'd be good to see increased patrols, statements by police that such actions were assault and would be enforced as such.

Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.

I found Nicklin Way to be a nice road to cycle on. Massively wide road shoulders and three lanes each way in places,I did get harassed by a Toyota Hilux driven by a singlet wearing tattooed moron, but that was along aerodrome rd further north. I was on my own coming back from an early ride to Noosa from Golden Beach, and he was the only negative encounter the whole two weeks I rode up there.

The key phrase was "single moron". The unacceptable spankery that some drivers exhibit failing to share the road is the key problem. People are the problem, not conditions, not infrastructure and not the vehicles.
